EVENING SERVICE
Prayer was offered by Rev Mr.. Skeele.
The hymn Beyond the Smiling and the
weeping was sung in most impressive
manner by Mr.. & Mrs. Stebbins. In order
10 give attention to her work in BROOKLYN.
Mrs Stebbins left the city for home last
night. She is superintendent of the inter-
mediate department of the Sunday School
connected with the church of which DIR.
fentecost was pastor, having under charge
about six hundred children. Her helm in the
meetings here will be long remembered, and
the songs she sang cherished in MANY hearts.
Dr. Pentecost's subject was Faith and a
VAIN Faith, the text being Cor Is: IA
The facts which indicate the christian faith
are lndisputable. Christianity rests upon
knowledge based on facts The lapse of
years can not change a fact and it is a fact
to-day, as it was eighteen hundred wears ago
that Christ died and rose from the dead
And not believing this on the part of any
does not change the fact
The facts that underlie the christian faith
are easy OF comprehension. Christ died,
was buried, rose from the dead, and a belief
in and acceptance of these truths brings sal
vation. We should receive Christ, we should
stand in Christ
The sermon was clear and powerful
presentation of Christ as the hope of saliva
ton. Several expressed their purpose to
accept Christ.
